Recruitment
ATOC is the national voice of the UK’s passenger train companies, representing operators’ interests to policy makers, stakeholders and the wider rail industry. Two exciting opportunities have arisen within the policy directorate to influence the future of Britain’s rail industry.
Manager - Planning
This key role will be responsible for developing and promoting ATOC positions on rail and train service planning, especially infrastructure projects and rolling stock priorities. You will be proactive in consulting with ATOC members, engaging with Network Rail and other rail organisations such as TfL and Transport Scotland, researching industry reports and supporting senior ATOC staff in industry debates. Drafting compelling discussion papers and consultation responses will be a key aspect of this role and as part of which you will have the opportunity to address some of the most strategic issues that today’s railways face including HLOS, electrification, Crossrail, HS-2, Thameslink and rolling stock strategy for CP5 and beyond.
Your experience is most likely to have come from business planning, consultancy or analysis in the rail sector and will ideally include a strong understanding of the views of TOC’s and how they assess bid opportunities and manage franchise agreements. With the gravitas to represent ATOC in prominent industry groups and lead workshops you’ll have a good understanding rail policy issues and appraisal techniques. Your writing ability will be excellent and you will have strong interpersonal and analytical skills. You will probably be degree qualified, possibly with a Master’s in economics, engineering or science.
Manager - Regulation
With a remit to establish and advance ATOC positions on the regulation and structure of the rail industry this role will engage on key areas including; ORR’s approach to the regulation and enforcement of licence conditions, the contractual framework that governs Network Rail and improvements to the regulatory framework for stations and depots. An essential part of this role is to develop strong consensus across ATOC members on regulatory policy issues and be responsible for writing persuasive position papers and consultation responses that get the message across to ORR and DfT. In addition the Manager for Regulation will be expected to act as secretariat to ATOC groups dealing with track access policy.
To successfully fulfil the demands of this post you will need experience in regulation, business consultancy or analysis ideally, but not necessarily, in the rail or transport sector. The new Manager, Regulation will either have good knowledge of the rail industry contractual framework including access and franchise agreements or be ready to acquire this within a few months of joining and an understanding of wider rail and transport policy issues would be an advantage as well. A strong written and oral communicator, you will be a highly numerate graduate, possibly with a Master’s in economics or law.
Both roles are based at the ATOC head office in London WC1 and offer competitive salary & benefits package, including a final salary pension and travel facilities. To apply please email your current CV and remuneration package to our retained consultant Jim Newsom at
